When I get an email/text message the sound selected doesn't matter which I choose won't stop playing till I click it.
I'm rooted but it didn't matter which rom or stock it still does it. It's annoying when it does it at night while trying to sleep. Or when I'm away from my phone.
Is there a way to stop it/fix it to only play once like every other phone I've ever owned. I've searched on xda and Google with no luck.
Please if anyone knows how to fix this, thanks

Anyone else had this?? A couple of times a day it just starts playing a song off the SD card... it's always the same song... It's not while getting an email, text, or phone call... Anyone else experienced this? It's a brand new phone that's just rooted and sideloading enabled... Still on stock firmware, 3 days old...
Which song? LOL
Never heard of that, if it keeps up you're within your 30 days, return it.

That's just it, this IS the replacement The old one is sitting on the table for an issue where it always thought the USB was plugged in even when it wasn't. It did the music thing as well, was hoping it was due to the same USB issue but I guess not... It's got to be one of the installed apps... Going to start uninstalling stuff, but most of the apps are various google apps (goggles, etc)
It happened to me the first time I flashed. Even though my alert notification settings were reloaded and set for the same sounds, and those sounds were on the same place on my sd card, I got the alphabetically first mp3 that was on my phone for every alert. I had to go in and re-select each notification tone and everything was fine after that.
My guess is that you restored something with settings that has an alert sound. Obviously, not anything that you mentioned (email, sms) but something through maybe you forgot about?

!!!!!!!! HMMM now this is a possibility... Facebook was set to notify with a tone, but no tone was selected in the menu. I selected one and we'll see if that fixes it

This happened to me once. Funny thing was the mp3 that it started to play was a chapter in the bible calling for repentance. I thought god was calling me out. Turns out it was just the first mp3 in my list.

Hahaha that's amazing
This is a job for "Ghost Hunters."
Ah, this is the thread I need. Yes, this is happening to me as well. What I found is that the music seems to play when switching network connections. For example, if I'm in a poor reception area and the phone switches from 3G to wireless, the music might start playing.
The way to stop the music is to pull down the notification drawer. Weird.
This seemed to happen a lot more when I flashed Cognition 2.3b8 / 3.04.
Sound familiar to anyone else?
Sounds like you guys have the option turned on to notify you when switching towers or whatever that setting is called. I know it's there, just haven't used it on this phone. I use it when I travel so if I change towers it alerts me and I can see if I'm roaming.
Look for this in the settings, and turn that notification off.
Is that an option in 2.2? Couldn't find it, but perhaps I'm missing something. What I am hoping is that it's one of the apps I have installed, like NoBars. I'm turning other notifications off to see if that helps. The odd part is this only happens maybe once a day, so to me it doesn't appear consistent.
Mine is doign the same thing as described by the OP. Seems to be playing the first mp3 located in the "Music" folder I created on my internal 16gb SD-card randomly throughout the day. Not sure if it coincides with the battery full notification or not.
The started happening a couple days ago, before I switched to official froyo, and now it's doing the same thing after the upgrade. I have never rooted or flashed my Cappy, other than from official 2.1 -> official 2.2 yesterday.
So as the title says, I had an alarm set for 10am one day and since I didn't need it anymore I took it off. Well the next day at 10 am it ended up going off again. I checked to see if it was still active, but it wasn't even there.
Is this a known bug our does anyone know how to fix it?

Simple question is did you restart your phone too see if it still happens. It is not a bug that I have ever seen reported. Maybe reinstall the clock and see if it still appears as a setting?
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
=======================================================================
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SOLVED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which indicates that a voicemail alert, prior to the media scanner completing, causes this issue.
=======================================================================
So this morning I rebooted my phone. After it loaded into the home screen (but, before it connected to the network or finished media scanning) it began beeping, loudly. I was only able to silence it by turning the phone to silent mode. This beeping continued for roughly two minutes then stopped.
At no point was there any alert or message to indicate that the system had booted up in a manner that was abnormal. After repeated tries, the device makes this noise upon boot, religiously.
What the hell is it, and how do I stop it?
Seriously? Anyone? This is obnoxious.
Maybe if you gave more info...like rom...kernel...stock...recent apps...

Well, my ROM info is in my signature and I am running the default Serendipity kernel (hardcore speedmod). There have been no recent alterations to system settings, setup, or applications. No new apps installed, or uninstalled, in the past week. And nothing is open on the device when the beeping occurs (as the phone is still starting up).
Let me take a stab...might work, might not
Do you use Google Voice?
I was having an issue last month where the phone would give the odd old G1 beeping sound as soon as it reached the homescreen after reboot. Found it was a rogue google voice email message that was trying like hell to give me a notifier, but was failing miserably. Check your web console for GV and see if you have a new message waiting to be read (or listened to), open t so it doesn't eed to notify. That stopped my crazy beeping.

I do not use Google Voice. It is, however, installed on the device. When I open it I am given a series of setup questions, so I don't imagine that it is telling me that I have a message waiting.
I originally thought that it was a message alert from some program. The problem with that is that it goes on for nearly one-hundred and twenty seconds and does not give me any visual indication of what it is attempting to alert me to.
My main concern is that it is some sort of hardware warning and that I am ignoring it out of ignorance.
Does the beeping stop when you pull down the notification bar as it would to silence an actual notification?

Can you identify which file on the phone is the actual beep sound? I'm just wondering if something is specifically calling the sound file, or if it is random. If you could identify the file and delete or rename it, it might help troubleshoot to see what your phone would do/attempt to do.

My beeping stops when i pull down the notification tray. I have been tethering for about a week without paying AT&T extra money with PDANet. Have they caught me?
This ringtone, for lack of a better word, is buried in the rom somewhere. It is called something like unresolved. Maybe reinstall kernel. this has happened to me before... I just can't remember how I fixed it.

Found another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which seems to have answered, but not solved, this problem.
HI everyone.
I have just owned my Incredible S for a week now and theres one big issue with it that makes me crazy.
And it´s the notification LED and that it stops flashing after 5 minutes.
I have been able to get around this problem for missed calls and recieved messages after rooting my phone and install the app lightflow.
But the problem still remains with reminders. I use an app called "COL Reminder" and I can´t get that to flash the way I want. I want it to flash until I unlock the screen.
Can you guys help me?
Is there an other app maybe or can you get in to the scripts handling the LED in the phone and do some changes?
My phone is (as I wrote) rooted and I run the stock 2.3 Gingerbread ROM.
Please anybody??
Miui Rom maybe can do that.

Unfortunately not.
i remember having this issue with Hero as well.
In fact HTC got back then saying that this is a hardware issue & the programming is such that the blinking is for 5 minutes or until the user checks the notification, whichever comes first.
The LED type in the Hero is very similar to the IncS.
not sure why!
Is anyone else having this issue or know how to correct it? My phone will chime randomly throughout the day. Sometimes it will do it several times an hour and sometimes maybe once an hour. Any ideas?
I was getting a really annoying notification chime with some apps. The weird thing was I would turn notifications for that app on silent and that weird chime would still happen. I have no idea what I did to fix it but it eventually stopped.

That's odd. Never thought about it being an app. I will try to uninstall them and reinstall and see what happens. Thanks.
